Here Come The Derailers
Derailers
For their Sony/Lucky Dog debut, retro-tonkers the
Derailers turn to veteran producer Kyle Lehning, who's best known for his work
with Randy Travis. Is it a nod toward commercial country for these alt-crowd
faves? Perhaps, but the results are nonetheless rewarding across a strong set
of originals, at times reminiscent of the Mavericks in their blend of the
traditional and the contemporary. Besides, the Derailers, like main inspiration
Buck Owens, have always been irresistibly catchy and now they seem to be
finding their own voice.

Gravitational Forces
Robert Earl Keen
Keen's two-album tenure on Arista met with mixed
results as the Texan moved ever so slightly in a slicker direction, producing
albums that were good (Walking
Distance was very good), though not up to his usual high
standards. Keen's debut for Mercury's Lost Highway imprint, his first record in
three years, is clearly a return to top form as the singer-songwriter finds a
more organic sound and delivers his most memorable collection of tunes in some
time.

Earl Scruggs & Friends
Earl Scruggs
Longtime fans of the banjo master may remember
Scruggs's star-studded "family and friends" albums from decades ago. Now he's
introduced to a new generation of fans (and artists) on this collection, which,
typically for an all-star affair, ranges from the subpar to the sublime. Guests
range from Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart, Vince Gill, and Travis
Tritt to Elton John, Sting, John Fogerty, and Melissa Etheridge. The varied
guest list makes for surprises both good and bad.
Listen to "Borrowed Love" with Dwight
Yoakam
